Episode 586: Solitaire Game Commander Dave

Chris is joined by Game Master Dave for an episode packed with previews, reviews, and a dive into the world of solitaire gaming.

Roll for Preview: Chris checks out Reiner Knizia’s Medici Traders, a tile auction game that brings a new spin to the classic Medici system, while Dave digs into Drillers.

Roll for Review: Chris stomps into King of Tokyo: Godzilla, while Dave tackles Lumberjacks with Rocket Launchers, Hot Streak, and Flip 7.

Then it’s time for Solitaire Game Commander Dave! Dave takes command of the table to explore solo gaming, including Agricola, Master of Britain, B-17: Queen of the Skies, and The Hunters: German U-Boats at War, 1939–43. What makes these games work when there’s nobody sitting across the table from you, and what can modern solo games learn from them?

Auctions, drilling, kaiju, lumberjacks, horse racing, card games, and commanding an entire table by yourself- it’s another week of Board Gamers Anonymous!
